A&P by John Updike: Literature

/in /by

Choose topic A or B (not both), and write a thesis-driven essay (2-3 pages). Give your essay an interesting title inviting to a reader. Please type and double-space the work and include both in-text citation and Works Cited for your primary source (the story). Be sure to include at least two quotes from the story to support the points you make in the essay. Your essay must be 2-3 pages in length and must be written in correct MLA format. Don’t forget to include your name, the class, and the section number at the top of the page. A sample essay is attached here, which illustrates how your paper should look and how quotes should be incorporated into the essay and cited. Please follow the outline at the bottom of this document. Choice A Coming-of-age or initiation stories often parallel the journey of classical heroes. The young protagonist is beset with a conflict, takes a journey–sometimes physical but always metaphorical–experiences an epiphany, and returns “home” forever changed. Discuss this theme of change as it relates to the protagonist of either A&P” by John Updike or “Araby” by James Joyce. Your thesis statement should convey the essence of what the change is. You must develop that thesis in the body paragraphs, using at least two direct quotations from the original source. Do not simply retell the plot of the story. What is required is your analysis and interpretation. Choice B Setting is not arbitrary in short stories and is used by writers to enhance the reader’s understanding of the characters and central themes of the work. Discuss how setting functions to enhance understanding of themes and characters in either “A&P” by John Updike or “Araby” by James Joyce. Your thesis statement should express clearly why the setting of your chosen story is critical to the development of the story. You must support that thesis in the body paragraph, using at least two direct quotations from the original source. Do not simply retell the plot of the story. What is required is your analysis and interpretation.
